What is stereo?

There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Opera Quinta

The new Quinta continues with the outstanding scale and depth of its

predecessor and builds on it with the use of new drive units, crossover

and cabinet design. It’s a true full-range, dynamic loudspeaker that

relays anything from jazz trios to full scale symphonic music with

authority and detail, yet also delicacy.

Room Positioning

Opera Quinta is a floor standing loudspeaker. It is inadvisable to place

the loudspeaker in a corner, and the recommended distance from side

walls is at least 30cm. As always, the best position within the room

will be found while experimenting. Even though the reflex ports are

rear-mounted, it is sufficient to maintain a distance of just a few inches

between the rear of the loudspeaker and the rear wall.

System

The Opera Quinta differs from the previous model of the same name by

having a new cabinet, new components and new crossover. The cabinet

is slightly larger than before, with an internal volume of around 60 litres
